Supplementary Stevedore

At DP World, we believe a diverse team is a strong team. We are looking for motivated people from all backgrounds, including women, to join our Brisbane operations as Casual or Supplementary Stevedore.

Our workforce is readily available 24/7 to provide our customers with seamless access to terminal facilities in Australia around the clock. In this this role you will be required to work shift work, across 7 days a week. You will be notified of your shifts 1 day in advance by calling an automated phone system or checking online. You will be initially employed on a casual basis with no guarantee of shifts.

As a General Stevedore you will work outdoors. You will perform three main tasks:

• Lashing - This is the use of heavy rigging equipment to secure shipping containers to the deck of a ship. Due to the physical requirements of this work, you will be required to demonstrate you can safely lift and pass a 'lashing bar lifting test' prior to employment as part of a broader pre-employment medical and physical assessment.
• Pins - This is the locking and unlocking of heavy twist locks, which secure containers together and to the deck of a ship to prevent movement while at sea. This work is performed underneath a crane close to lots of moving machinery.

• Straddle driving - A Straddle is a 60-tonne heavy vehicle used to move shipping containers. Straddle drivers sit in a cabin approximately 12 metres high - so this is not well suited to those with a fear of heights.

All new hires will complete a two-week induction and training program covering core tasks such as lashing and pins, with straddle training provided at a later stage. You don't need to come from a heavy industry background - we provide comprehensive, ongoing training and skills development to support your success in the role.

This role requires Maritime Security Clearance, and candidates must be able to obtain or hold an MSIC card. Candidates must have Australian residency and working rights prior to application for this role or their application will not be shortlisted.

Qualifications, skills and experience

To be successful in this role, you will have the following experience, skills and qualifications:

• A current and valid driver's licence
• A current and valid forklift licence (LF)
• Experience driving heavy machinery.
• Experience with shift work (day, evening and night shifts).
• Experience with physical work or labouring.
• Experience in heavy industry such as warehousing, transport and logistics, construction, mining, or manufacturing
